Ok here it is:
4x-5y=40
2x+10y=20
I used the second equation and decided to get x
2x+10y=20
Subtract 10y from both sides.
2x=-10y+20
Divide both sides by 2
x=-5y+10
Put that in for x for first equation
4(-5y+10)-5y=40
Distribute the 4
-20y+40 -5y =40
Combine like terms
-25y+40=40
Subtract 40 from both sides
-25y=0
Divide by -25 on both sides
y=0
Substitute the y in for the 2nd equation
2x+10(0)=20
2x=20
Divide both sides by 2
x=10
So x=10 and y=0

Find the value of x. A. 53–√ in B. 241−−√ in C. 55–√ in D. 9

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

<h2>x = 5√3 inches</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side x

Using Pythagoras theorem we have

${a}^{2} = {b}^{2} + {c}^{2}$

where a is the hypotenuse

Substitute the values into the above formula

The hypotenuse is 10 inches

We have

${10}^{2} = {5}^{2} + {x}^{2}$

${x}^{2} = {10}^{2} - {5}^{2}$

${x}^{2} = 100 - 25$

${x}^{2} = 75$

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = 5√3 inches</h3>

Hope this helps you
